00:00Thank you very much. A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive

00:07precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime

00:14Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built

00:23this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of

00:29Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the

00:36world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world

00:41that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear

00:48enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully

00:54of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be

00:59far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America,

01:05death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing

01:10off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand

01:16people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around

01:21the world have died as a direct result of their hate. In particular, so many were

01:25killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not

01:33let this happen. It will not continue. I want to thank and congratulate Prime

01:38Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked

01:45before. And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to

01:51thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most

01:56importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those

01:59magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an

02:05operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.

02:09Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that's so. I also want

02:16to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin-Kane,

02:21a spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this

02:26attack. With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace

02:32or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the

02:37last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most

02:44difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not

02:50come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and

02:56skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes. There's no military in

03:02the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There has never been a

03:07military that could do what took place just a little while ago. Tomorrow, General Kane,

03:13Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon.

03:19And I want to just thank everybody. And in particular, God, I want to just say we love

03:27you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless

03:34Israel and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

04:04God bless America.

04:09God bless America.

04:11God bless America.

04:13God bless America.

04:15God bless America.

04:17God bless America.

04:19God bless America.

04:21God bless America.

04:23God bless America.

04:25God bless America.

04:27God bless America.

04:29God bless America.
